Abstract

Background: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that have the characteristic of optic nerve damage with a specific pattern and field loss of view with or without increased intraocular pressure (IOP). The objective of the study was to analyze the association between glaucoma incidence with hs-CRP and IL-6 levels. Method: This study used patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were in the form of patients with a primary closed-angle diagnosis, willing to participate in the research. The study was conducted in the period from March to August 2013. The research procedure included patient examination, hsCRP and IL-6 level examination. Results: Mann-Whitney test result showed difference of hs-CRP with p value of 0.755 and difference of IL-6 level with p = 0.95. Thus, there was no significant difference in the levels of hs-CRP and IL-6 in patients with glaucoma and non-glaucoma. Conclusion: Hs-CRP and serum IL-6 levels in the glaucoma group did not differ from the non-glaucoma group.

Abstract

Background: To identify correlation between caspase-3 expression and degeneration of lateral rectus muscleon experimental esotropia in rabbits by using time dependent analysis. Methods: Twenty four rabbits weredivided into 4 groups, first month sham (S1); second month sham (S2); first month esotropia (E1); andsecond month esotropia (E2) model groups. Immunohistochemical and haematoxyllin eosin staining wereperformed. Results: In first month observation no significant difference in caspase-3 expression between S1(1.56 ± 1.03) and E1 (3.93 ± 1.66) groups (p >0.05) and in the degeneration score of lateral rectus musclebetween S1 (1.33 ± 1.36) and E1 (3.83 ± 2.04) groups (p> 0.05). In second month observation no significantdifference in caspase-3 expression between S2 (1.80 ±1.08) and E2 (6.50 ± 3.26) groups (p >0.05); butthere was significant difference in the degeneration score of lateral rectus muscle between S2 (1.16 ± 1.16)and E2 (4.50 ± 1.04) groups (p <0.05). There was a significant correlation between caspase-3 expressionand the degeneration score of lateral rectus muscle (p=0.020; r=0.471). Conclusion: On the experimentalesotropia with prolonged lateral muscle contraction in rabbits, the increasing trend of caspase-3 expressionhas a correlation with the increasing degeneration score of lateral rectus muscle.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma (PACG) is usually present in adults older than forty and is more common in hyperopic eyes. Angle-closure is usually related to structural or developmental ocular abnormalities in young individuals. Case presentation: We presented a rare case of PACG in a 32 years old woman with pathologic myopia of -23.0 RLE. The chief complaint was blurring of the right eye three months before the visit. Right eye Intraocular Pressure (IOP) was 30mmHg-38mmHg despite treatment with three intra-ocular pressure-lowering agents. Axial length was 32.36 mm and 31.19 mm RLE. Anterior chamber depth was 2.36 mm and 2.60 mm RLE. Lens thickness was 5.07 mm and 5.40 mm RLE. Signs of GON and pathologic myopia were found in both eyes. GON was present asymmetrically (0.9 and 0.6 RLE), with the myopic crescent as well as baring and peripapillary atrophy. The optic disc was slightly tilted with the myopic crescent. There was also a marked sign of retinal pigment epithelium thinning and attenuation along with myopic chorioretinal atrophy. Conclusions: PACG in a young myopic individual is challenging to diagnose because myopia and glaucoma share similar optic nerve head pathology. Comprehensive examinations including gonioscopy, biometry, and OCT may confirm the diagnosis. In the presented case, angle-closure was caused by thick lenses and a shallow anterior chamber, along with excessively long axial length. Primary angle-closure at a young individual with myopic eyes is highly uncommon. Nonetheless, clinicians should always consider glaucoma even in the presence of high axial length and myopic fundus.

Abstract

Introduction: Trabeculectomy is an incisional surgery for glaucoma patient. Performing trabeculectomy in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is quite difficult. Caution is needed for the occurrence of flat anterior chamber (FAC) and malignant glaucoma. We present a case management of trabeculectomy in a PACG patient. Case presentation: A 52-year-old male had blurred vision in his left eye since one year ago. The patient felt left visual field narrowing since eight months ago. Patient had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Visual acuity on the left eye was 5/7.5. Intraocular pressure (IOP) increased (29 mmHg). Gonioscopy showed closed angle and peripheral anterior synechiae. Glaucomatous optic neuropathy was found with C/D ratio value of 0.9 and superior-inferior RNFL thinning on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Anterior segment OCT revealed shallow anterior chamber depth (ACD) 2.54 mm. The right eye visual acuity was 5/5, normal IOP, and shallow ACD (2.66 mm). Patient was underwent left eye trabeculectomy. Postoperatively, left eye anterior chamber and bleb were formed. He had normal IOP without glaucoma medications. Conclusions: Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure for glaucoma. Close monitoring is required to avoid the risk of postoperative FAC and malignant glaucoma in PACG.

Abstract

Introduction : The dilemma in diagnosing glaucoma often arises when optic atrophy is found alongside nonspecific glaucomatous findings and normal intraocular pressure (IOP), particularly in cases of normal tension glaucoma (NTG). This gray zone often leads to doubt and misdiagnosis. Case Illustration : A 70-year-old man previously diagnosed with idiopathic bilateral optic atrophy complained of blurred vision in both eyes. The visual acuity was 5/5 in the right eye (RE) and hand movement in the left eye (LE). Both eyes had normal IOP, open angles with Sampaolesi lines on gonioscopy, fibrin deposits at pupillary margins, and a large cup-to-disc ratio with baring and peripapillary atrophy on funduscopy. The OCT examination revealed thinning in the ONH-RNFL, ILM-RPE, and GCL-IPL complexes. HFA revealed tunnel vision in RE and general depression in LE. The patient was suspected of having NTG. We performed BMO-MRW (less than 100 ?m in both eyes) and 24-hour ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) measurements (less than 50 mmHg at night) to support the diagnosis. Discussion : The BMO-MRW examination is a new parameter that can help establish the diagnosis of glaucoma. A thin BMO-MRW finding suggests that optic atrophy originates from glaucoma. It is important to perform a comprehensive examination in cases of NTG to identify risk factors and prevent the development of glaucoma. Decreased OPP to less than 50 mmHg and PEX syndrome may be risk factors for NTG. Conclusion : In cases of doubtful optical atrophy, it is important to consider the possibility of NTG by performing a comprehensive examination, including BMO-MRW and twenty-four hour OPP measurements.

Abstract

Introduction : Hyphema results from damage to the blood vessels of the iris or anterior ciliary body after blunt trauma, and in 56–100% of cases can occur angle recession. Case Illustration : A 40-year-old man complaints of pain and blurred left eye after being sprayed by a high-pressure fire hydrant five hours before coming to the emergency room. Visual acuity was 20/20 and hand movement in right and left eye, IOP is 13 mmHg and 18 mmHg in both eyes. Subconjunctival bleeding, conjunctival and pericorneal injections were found with punctate fluorescein test in the left eye. The cornea was edema and the anterior chamber was full of hyphema. Five days after being hospitalized and treated with topical atropine, antibiotics, and steroid in combination with oral tranexamic acid, the visual acuity was 5/6.5 and the hyphema was resolved. The IOP elevated after 1-6 weeks of follow-up in the outpatient clinic then timolol eyedrops were given. Gonioscopy showed widening of CBB, torn iris processus 2 clock hours in the inferior quadrant. The antiglaucoma medication was stopped due to the controlled IOP in the end episode of the treatment. Discussion : Angle recession involves a tear between the longitudinal and circular muscle fibres of the ciliary body. Medication is needed to control the IOP, while surgical management only indicated in cases where medical treatment fails to control the IOP and risk of progressive visual loss. Conclusion : Angle recession can occur after blunt eye trauma with hyphema and IOP control is needed to prevent the development of secondary glaucoma.

Abstract

Introduction: Cornea is an important refractive part of the eye. The corneal foreign body can disturb corneal function, depending on its material. Any materials are inert and can be retained with serial observation, while others can cause an inflammatory reaction. Purpose: To determine the effects of various foreign body materials on the cornea. Review: Corneal foreign body materials are divided into non-organic and organic materials. Organic foreign bodies (plant and insect parts) often cause severe inflammation; meanwhile, the effects of non-organic foreign bodies (metal, glass, graphite) depend on their materials. Some metals, such as iron and copper, can develop a stained deposition, disturb corneal clarity, and lead to inflammation. Other metals such as gold, silver, and platinum are almost inert and cause little or no reaction. Glass, sand, or stone is relatively inert if it is sterile. Intrastromal graphite is also inert, however, organic materials are associated with infection. Wood can lead to bacterial or fungal infection. Insect parts such as caterpillar hair can cause ophthalmia nodosa, and insect stings elicit an inflammatory response. Conclusions: Any non-organic corneal foreign bodies (gold, silver, platinum, glass, sand, stone, and graphite) may be retained safely if the removal of the foreign body results in significant scarring, which can distort the topography of the cornea. Iron, copper, and organic materials (wood and insect parts) must be removed due to their toxicity or risk of infection.

Abstract

Introduction: Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) is characterized by pigment accumulation in the anterior chamber and a concave peripheral iris. Many PDS patients are not diagnosed until the disease has progressed to pigmentary glaucoma or other visual problems. Since glaucoma is the primary cause of permanent blindness globally, it is crucial to perform a thorough examination on patients with PDS to identify early indicators of pigmentary glaucoma (PG). Case Presentation: A 17-year-old female presented to the ophthalmology outpatient unit with eye pain and headache. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in the right eye was 30 mmHg, while in the left eye, it was 20.5 mmHg due to the peripheral iris' concavity and heavy pigmentation in the trabecular mesh in both eyes. The patient was diagnosed with pigment dispersion syndrome in both eyes and was given timolol maleate 0.5% eye drops. A follow-up examination revealed a decrease in the IOP and pain. Conclusions: Many young PDS patients go undiagnosed, and those with glaucoma are misdiagnosed as having juvenile onset glaucoma or primary open angle glaucoma. When high IOP is seen in young myopic patients, a thorough evaluation of the anterior segment is required. The patient should be aware of the progression of PG, and regular follow-up is recommended.

Abstract

Background: Refractive disorders are in the third rank of causes of blindness. Refractive disorders are not uncommon among medical students. Exposure to blue light from the device acts as one of the causes of refractive errors. In this modern era, medical students are often exposed to blue light from their devices in their studies. The study was conducted to see the effect of the habit of exposure to blue light radiation on refractive errors. Method: This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Determination of the research sample using total sampling technique by taking data from all students of the Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, class 2018. Results: Of the 83 study subjects, it was found that 62.7% were women, 37.3% were men. 16.9% were less than 19 years old, 51.8% were 19 years old, 22.9% were 20 years old and 8.4% were over 20 years old. The p value between the cylinder relationship with the eye distance to the device is 0.727. P value cylinder relationship with position 0.891. The p value of the cylinder relationship with the duration of the use of the device is 0.140. The relationship between myopia and the distance of the eye to the device obtained a p value of 0.702. The relationship between myopia and position, the p value was 0.382 and the relationship between myopia and duration was p value 0.552. Discussion: The results of this study are in line with previous studies but some are contradictory. The same results were obtained due to the use of the same method. Meanwhile, the results are conflicting due to differences in research methods and also the age of the sample. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the habit of exposure to blue light radiation and eye refractive error among students of the Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, class 2018.
